AVM ropes in Ajith 06/08/2005
By The Hindu

CHENNAI: Ajith plays the lead role in AVM's 167th film, which is yet to be titled. The man wielding the megaphone will be Perarasu (the man behind the success of `Thiruppaachi').

It is the 60th year for AVM, and the men behind the movie house, M. Saravanan and his son M.S. Guhan, have been concentrating on the small screen for over a year now ever since the release of `Perazhagan'.

Bharadhwaj is the music director and Thota Tharani is in charge of the art department for the movie slated for release on Tamil New Year day, 2006.

At a photo session for the movie on Thursday, Saravanan said that in today's life, cinema played a vital part. "My main aim is to make the people happy through the small or the big screen. After more than a year we are entering film production and this time it is going to be a Ajith-Perarasu combination... we hope this first time combination will be a hit. The other artistes will be finalised soon."

For Ajith, who completes 13 years in the film industry this month, it is another important assignment, as he himself admits. "I feel as if this is my first film as I am going to perform in an AVM movie... " he says.
 

Ajit signs AVM film! 06/08/2005

Happy days are here again for Ajit, as he has signed for AVM's 2006 Tamil New Year (April 14) release. This film will be directed by hot and happening action sentiment specialist Perarasu, who has just completed Vijay's Sivakasi.
A low profile Ajit is now a favourite with established production houses and the AVM film is a feather on his cap. It's good to know that Ajit has become a professional and is now very keen to do films with top banners and reputed directors.
It is a far cry from his Nic Arts Chakravarthy days, when he used to do films only with him. Ajit's Bala film Naan Kadavul has been temporarily put on the hold, as Bala is searching for a good producer to back the project.
